Flock has told the public for years that its technology “cannot recognize, identify, or track individuals.” The company has now built an AI system that does both. And @wired.com got the system's code -- allowing us to reconstruct it, and learn exactly how Flock's new tool is supposed to work:

The day is coming when the ultra-wealthy will look back at the phrase "Tax the Rich" as a polite request they should have desperately accepted. The status quo collapses when a population with nothing left to lose reaches its breaking point. People still go to work,

I check Facebook 1-2x a month for family stuff. Turns out a few days ago my dad made a long post begging for understanding about trans people by his fellow boomers. Last paragraphs are below. Dad doesn’t always get it 100% right. He doesn’t need to. He loves and defends me; that’s all that matters

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why 700,000 people would want to gather in Pittsburgh for the nfl draft to watch a couple dozen college jocks find out where they will work next year?

We were watching the Artemis landing with Sen Mark Kelly on CNN tonight, and he mentioned he was 5 yrs old when astronauts walk on the moon. Then we recalled that we both watched the walk in the TV room of the 76th Engr Btn officers club in Korea. Suddenly, we both feel really old... 🙄

Apple is anti-union. Tesla is anti-union. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," Pope Leo said. "And someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

npr.orgPope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life'Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

I HATE DEER! As if a very poor start with cold, no pollinators flying, then the summer weather wasn't enough, now they steal what's left of the apples. So, desperate times call for desperate measures. Diapers! Jim Did i mention i hate deer? 🤬
